Shawn has Saturday off of work this week!!! This is his first Saturday off since he started recruiting duty. Shawn reached his recruiting objective in the month of March so he got a day off in March!

She Hates Pictures

Kiley used to be so much fun to photograph. She would always smile for the pictures, NOW, she wont even look at me. Today, I tried to take her picture and she started to cry and throw a HUGE fit. She can be such a beast sometimes.

Shawn, Kiley and I went to the park today. Sad to say, but this was the 1st time the three of us have gone to the park together. Kiley likes the swings, but the parks by our house don't have swings so we had to drive to the Murrieta sports park to use their playground.

Kiley went on the small slide with me, but got brave and went on the big slide with Shawn.





She is super cute near the 22nd second of the video!

Walking Progress

Mid December Kiley took her 1st steps. Most babies would be running around like crazy right now, but NOT Kiley. She still is so nervous about walking. Originally, she would only walk from person to person...Now she is walking from object to object, but only a few feet at a time.
She'll get there, she's just a bit more cautious then most babies her age. And just because she looks like ET when she walks doesn't mean we love her any less.

HERE IT IS!

This is the finished unit. I LOVE it to death. I still need to do a little touch up paint here and there, but it's usable and we were able to move our stuff into the drawers. Thanks again to Troy and Vic for all the help!

This weekend we were lucky to have Shawn's parents come into town. It's a long drive from Salt Lake City, but we really enjoy them coming down. We just hung around the house all weekend, did some building and played some games. We really enjoyed having them here and kiley loved seeing her grandma Neener and grandpa.
Vic was such a help this weekend. In addition to helping build our bedroom entertainment center Build-in, Vic also changed the break pads on my jeep, mowed our lawn and put up shelving in our garage.
We got a TON of projects done this weekend. Troy, Vic and Shawn build my bedroom entertainment area and it looks GREAT. All I need to do is paint and put the drawers in and it will be completed. I'm so happy its finally done! (I'll post pictures of the unit on the blog after I paint)

She's walking

Kiley is now walking!
it started about a week and a half ago, it's really wobbly and only a few steps at a time, but she's walking now!

We don't have any pictures or videos up yet, but she's doing everyday for us. She has not yet decided that she wants walk as a way of getting one spot to the next. She only walks to people if you stand her up first.

It's the next "step" for her growing up and we're very proud of how her.
